Default Re: So my buddy just bought pot off Craigslist...

[ QUOTE ]
I don't understand the use of brackets in quotes. Here you put the [he's] in brackets and I don't understand why. Did you change the quote from "I" to "he" or what?

[/ QUOTE ]

I was directly quoting him, but obviously he said "I've" instead of "he's". In order to make a quote flow properly in context, you can use brackets to change words that don't change the meaning of the quote. Another example would be if he said "It is the best stuff I've ever seen!" I could write it as "[This bud] is the best stuff [he's] ever seen!"

Get it?
